Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 121 The missing body? Noah: I solved the case!
The method of finding a cat is monotonous, but not easy.

After all, cats are so small. If you train them well, they may respond or even look at you when you call them.
If you don't discipline it well, even if you call its name a hundred times and say "I love you" a hundred times, it will not bother to pay attention to you.

The six little ones searched everywhere near Hiroshi's home and even asked the police, but they still couldn't find the missing kitten...

"By the way, does your Akira have any special features? Like his fur is different from other cats or something like that."

Conan made a point.

Hiroshi also remembered at this time, "As for Akira, its voice is very special, it's 'Awoo'..."

"Ow~"

After Hiroshi imitated the call, a similar voice was heard not far away, "Yes, that's the voice..."

Several people were stunned and exclaimed "Ah", realizing that the sound might have been made by Akira, and immediately looked for the source of the sound.

In a large house right next door, they saw a cat sticking its head out of a window through the railings.

"Akira!"

Hiroshi called out his cat's name again.

Akira shouted happily and jumped out of the window.

But everyone was shocked:
Because it's covered in blood!
When Akira ran out, everyone surrounded it nervously.

Conan was the first to pick up the cat and quickly checked it out - no wounds?
"No wounds?" Sawada Hiroki also squatted down to help check, his eyes looking a little strange, "Then where did the blood come from?"

"Could it be..."

Conan's face also changed drastically, and he jumped over the guardrail and into the yard.

Teitan Sanbao was stunned for a moment, "Hey! Conan, what are you doing!?"

The three of them followed closely and crossed in...

Hiroki Sawada looked at the two-meter-high guardrail in a daze.

No, how did they get in? Are they so athletic? This is two meters, not two centimeters!

The corners of Hiroki's mouth twitched, and he also flipped in...

As a result, just as he was about to run to the window to see what was going on, Yuantai and a few others jumped down from the trash can they were standing on, shouting.

Hiroki: “???”

What happened? Someone died or something?
"Hiroki! Call the police! Someone's dead here!"

Conan made it clear in one sentence.

Hiroki was not surprised at all when he heard this. He immediately turned around and went out, then went to the phone booth outside and called the police.

More than ten minutes later, a police car came roaring in.

Conan and Hiroki both stared in the direction of the house to make sure no one entered or left the villa through the main gate.

Leading the team this time is Inspector Megure, and there is also a detective named Takagi who looks somewhat familiar to Conan.

"Conan, Hiroki, what's going on this time?"

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he immediately asked the two people who were at the scene about their discovery and ignored the other three members of the Junior Detective Team.

But this time, Yuan Tai and the others were very excited and said first: "Corpse! There is a corpse in the bathroom of that person's house!"

Officer Megure's face straightened: "Are you sure?"

Conan nodded and said, "That's for sure. We've been here since we found the body, and we haven't seen anyone come in or out, which means..."

"The body is still in that room!"

……

The owner of the villa seemed to be a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was very impatient when he saw the police. This aroused the suspicion of Inspector Megure, but when he went into the bathroom, everyone was dumbfounded - the bathroom was clean and there was nothing in it.

Naturally, there are no bloody corpses...

"Look, there's no body there. I think it's just a prank by these little devils."

The uncle looked at them with disdain in his eyes.

However, as soon as he said this, five pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Yuantai immediately wanted to refute him regardless of the adult's authority, but Hiroki stopped him.

Then, Hiroki and Conan looked at each other and saw the thoughts in each other's eyes - there was something wrong with this man!

"Inspector Megure, to be on the safe side, we'd better search this house." Conan turned and said to Officer Megure.

Hiroki Sawada has the same idea.

Inspector Megure was quite convinced by the two men and decided to search them immediately.

I don’t know if the uncle with glasses felt guilty or something, but he didn’t stop them. He just made a few sarcastic remarks and went upstairs on his own.

After Hiroki Sawada watched the people go up, he sneaked into the bathroom while Conan and the others were concentrating on searching the house:

"Noah, can you see if there's any place in this house you can spy on?"

"Yes……"

Noah responded in a low voice, and after a few seconds, the voice continued, "Yes, a phone, a transcription machine, a TV, and a radio. I can barely see outside with the TV... eh?!"

Hiroki Sawada was startled, "Noah, what did you find?"

"Uh...no, there's just a man in a bathrobe sitting on a chair, seemingly watching TV?" Noah's voice was hesitant.

"…That should be the owner of this house. He just went upstairs." Hiroki Sawada thought something had happened.

But Noah's next words made him feel something was wrong:

"But, just now a man with glasses and a bathrobe came in. He looked quite similar... Oh, he took off his glasses and put them on the man sitting there, and took off his clothes too..."

Hiroki Sawada was confused.

Wait, why are we now at the point of taking off clothes... No, that's not the point!
Two in bathrobes, one in glasses...

Hiroki suddenly realized something, rushed out, and grabbed the corner of Officer Megure's clothes: "Officer Megure!"

Officer Megure was still directing the search when he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled and turned around, "Oh, Hiroki, what's wrong?"

"That man just now is the criminal. The body Conan and the others saw is upstairs!" Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice as much as possible, not paying attention to the shocked looks on Conan and the others' faces when they looked at him. "We can still catch him if we go up now!"

The reason why Hiroki Sawada was a little anxious was because Noah was still whispering in his ear:

"He's putting on his trousers... his socks... his shirt... his tie..."

This is the rhythm of running away!
Seeing Hiroki's anxious look, Inspector Megure did not doubt him and immediately ordered the police officers in a hurry: "Quick! Everyone, go up! We can't let the criminal escape!"

……

The swarm of police officers successfully blocked the man on the second floor as he was about to escape through the window.

The other party probably didn't expect the police to come so quickly. He was stunned for a moment when he stayed by the window, and ended up losing the best chance to escape...

According to Hiroki, Inspector Megure also successfully discovered that the person sitting on the chair and communicating with them just now was actually a corpse.

After the first trial, everyone found out that a group of brothers lived in the house. After the younger brother killed his older brother, he pretended to be his brother to see the police...

In short, after listening to the younger brother's explanation of the whole cause and effect, Inspector Megure felt that the IQ of his fellow police officers had been seriously insulted - are they so gullible now?
